Eight Rutgers University students and alumni have set out on a 1,500-mile trek of a lifetime to help ensure children with cancer have a lifetime. Riding from here to Orlando, Fla., the eight are part of Dream4TK (Dream For The Kids), an initiative determined to raise $1 million for Embrace Kids Foundation, a locally based nonprofit organization.

"We are a group of Rutgers students who came together to speak to an idea of making the impossible possible," said Brendan McCartney, 21, of the Browns Mills section of Pemberton. "We want to benefit and ease the lives of any child with cancer."
